existing as a slavic queer on birdsite be like:
>reply to a post outside your circle
>"""discourse""" on gendered verb conjugations starts
>"I don't know if [the word "had" conjugated with neutral pronouns] is in polish"
>"this form doesn't exist same as your 'non-binary'" [shows screenshot with conjugations which include the neutral one for 3rd person 🤷]

>dear reader, the neutral conjugation in 1st person can be found in textbooks for polish from 1796 and 1824 next to female and male, in texts by very well-known writers such as Adam fucking Mickiewicz (1840 - yes, 1st person) or Stanisław Lem (1976 - yes, also 1st person), or even a fucking Christmas carol (this one 3rd person only; because people used to refer by them to kids more often)

I've been using #AnnotatedEquations in my recent papers. I think it really adds to the readability and understanding of the math.

Here are some examples. It uses #tikz in #latex.

Let me know if you like it. Happy for any feedback.

I'm pretty sure the story of Albert Einstein having bad grades in school is false. The good thing is that we can still tell the inspirational story of Alan Turing, whose report card once read: "I can forgive his writing, though it is the worst I have ever seen, and I try to view tolerantly his unswerving inexactitude and slipshod, dirty, work, inconsistent though such inexactitude is in a utilitarian; but I cannot forgive the stupidity of his attitude towards sane discussion on the New Testament."

picking a mastodon server to join is easy -- just think of it like you're allying with one of many families in a war-torn medieval land, each with their own histories, feuds, laws, blood rituals

A student of mine is going to speak about the history of the Axiom of choice at a seminar. She's got all the facts, but she asked me if I knew any juicy gossip about the Axiom of choice. I have to admit I don't, but perhaps Mathstodon can fulfill its purpose. #axiom #choice

I keep seeing lots of long-time #fediverse users saying 'don't favourite posts it does nothing' but actually when you favourite my posts it makes me smile and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

100 Mastodon myths:

1. Mastodon is hard.

FALSE. It’s a "soft"ware. Not hardware.

2. You have to use Linux to post on Mastodon.

FALSE. FreeBSD and OpenBSD are also supported.

3. You need to learn to use the Vim editor before posting on Mastodon.

FALSE. There’s also an emacs plugin.

4. Mastodon is only for computer nerds.

FALSE. As you can see, we sometimes try to make jokes that everyone could understand.
